Does anyone know a working method to make the result of postscript printing file (by holding down mouse while type K or F inside printing) on a Macintosh TeXture (a version of TeX on the mac) to be more general? Specifically, I want to make some PostScript files which can be printed from any postscript printers and the saving file by TeXture contains some apple definitions which can not be recognized by the generic ps printers.

There are probably two options available to you. One is to prefix the postscript file generated by the cmd-F trick with the correct laserprep file. The resultant postscript should be printable on any true poistscript printer. For further information about this avenue. consult the info-mac archives, in particular the macps package, which has all the pertinent information. For a totally different answer, download OzTeX, the public domain (La/AMS)TeX program for the mac, which as one of many options allows the generation of pure postscript from a DVI file. The strategy would then be to apply OzTeX to your TeX file, and then use OzTeX on the resultant DVI file (it can also, possibly, work directly with DVI files generated by TeXtures). The only tricky part is that the OzTeX procedure for incorporating Mac-generated pictures is different from that of TeXtures. Not difficult, mind you, just different. OzTeX can be had by anonymous FTP from tank.uchicago.edu (among other places). Best of luck.
